CCACE was funded by MRC and BBSRC for two five-year periods, from 1.9.2008 until 31.8.2018.

From 1.9.2018 until 31.8.2019 CCACE continues, with a no-cost extension, for specific projects. It no longer has core staff facilities, its PhD programme, its courses, or its other services to members.

Until 31.8.2020, CCACE's full and associate members may use the CCACE name and affiliation, and still refer to CCACE as a Lifelong Health & Wellbeing centre.
